A concert update for people who are curious about shows. I like going to concerts with friends, so if you are going to any of these let me know.
Attending and very excited about:
- Ratatat @ Slim's, Jul 10.
- Built to Spill @ Slim's, Sep 8 or 9. Built to Spill is playing everyone's favorite album, "Perfect From Now On," front to back.
- Treasure Island Music Festival, Sep 20 & 21.
- Spoon @ Fillmore, Sep 23. rxw and toastmantom 's brother Nick are also going to this show. On this night I will be hosting pre-show drinks at my house, which is 4 blocks from the Fillmore. Spoon is also playing on the 22nd and 24th if you can't make this date.
Others that might be of interest:
- Camper Van Beethoven @ Fillmore, Jun 28. I might go if a particular Sacramento friend were going.
- Jimmy Eat World @ Fillmore, Jul 18. I've seen them 3 times and used to be a big fan. They're high energy, so it might be fun.
- The Faint @ Fillmore, Aug 4. I could be convinced to go to this show if I had the right industrial-looking outfit. It could be just the inspiration I need to finally replace those black knee-high boots I ruined at Burning Man. (I was holding them up with duct tape.)
- !!! @ Independent, Aug 27.
- She Wants Revenge @ Fillmore, Jun 20.
- Constantines @ Slim's, Jul 2.
- 20 Minute Loop @ Bottom of the Hill, Jul 11.
- The Faint @ Grand Ballroom at Regency Center, Aug 5.
- Amanda Palmer of Dresden Dolls @ Great American, Aug 6.
